Sean Havens served the government black ops underworld for over twenty years. He lived and operated through corporate cut-outs and within the dark recesses of humanity to protect the country he loved. But when the family he loved was unprotected by his country, Havens' clandestine double life follows him home colliding two very separate worlds.
As a corrupt oversight-exempt program drives him to soldier on, Havens struggles to hold on to what he has left of his formerly distanced life. Shock awaits as he learns who is friend or foe in the obscure domestic battlefield. To find sanctuary, he must navigate the intertwined shadows of underhanded proxy surrogate schemes, staged terror attacks, and a long thought to be disbanded CIA rival--The Pond.
If Havens survives as both protector and punisher, will his soul be among the body count? Few will find safe haven amidst those seeking revenge and refuge within the twisted wreckage of covert eliminations and set-ups.
Safe Havens: Shadow Masters is a spine-tingling, high speed action adventure that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Sean Havens' covert world is turned upside down when harm comes to his family. Sean is now rethinking his path in life and is ready to make some changes. Somewhere in the shadows someone is pulling the strings and they won't allow Sean to decide how is life is played out. Can Sean escape the tangled web his life is now entangled in or will he too become another tragic piece of the puzzle.
I am keeping my description of the Safe Havens: Shadow Masters short and shrouded in darkness in order to keep from spoiling anything for readers. The story starts out with a bang and continues on hyper speed right to the end. The plot is so thick and twisted, filled with events you never expect and ones that are sure to leave your head spinning. The author is fluent in special ops and his knowledge is evident in the great detail he puts into his story. Many times I found myself wondering if the author was writing from experience as the incidents that occur are just crazy enough to be true. The author does allow readers to see a more loving and compassionate side of Sean Havens like when he thinks or speaks of his wife and daughter or connects with his brother-in-law. In my opinion, this made me like the main character all that much more.
I highly recommend picking up a copy of Safe Havens: Shadow Masters. Available on Amazon.
